Paul Reyes, RPh, is a pharmacist manager at Express Scripts in Irving, Texas. He is also the host of Express Scripts' national monthly radio program, Ask the Pharmacist. With the Baby Boomer generation reaching age 65, there are a growing number of Americans – 42 million in fact - caring for someone who is ill, disabled or aged.
And while being a caregiver can be rewarding, it is often time-consuming and stressful. A recent survey revealed that caregivers were more likely to rate themselves in poorer health compared to non-caregivers.
Paul Reyes, from Ask the Pharmacist, offers important tips to help caregivers stay on-top of their own health.
